“Thank you very much for this great training! It was absolutely worth coming all the way from Prague. There were many things I had already read about Mantle of the Expert, but I was missing a direct experience with it. Now I have it, and I also understand a lot more about planning.”

“Thank you so much for such a inspiring training. Lou and I returned to work full of new ideas! My area for professional development within the three dimensions of MoE was inquiry. I re-planned a lesson based around drama using the skills I had learnt on this training. Wow! The results were amazing. The children were asking a lot more questions and analysing situations but also discussing ways of improving and developing the situation we were in within our story. A big thank you Luke and Tim for teaching me the skills I needed to support this area of my development. ”
